尽管体罚对儿童的身心健康构成风险，但在美国，体罚的批准和使用仍然很高。根据计划行为理论，我们检查了支持CP的态度的潜在预测因素，同时评估了父母（N= 500）选择的关于儿童纪律的主要专业建议来源的调节作用：儿科医生（47.8%）、宗教领袖（20.8%）、心理健康专业人员（MHP）（n= 18.4%）或其他确定的专业人员（13.0%）。我们对洛杉矶新奥尔良市18岁及以上的父母进行了随机数字拨号电话调查。主要的结果测量来自对打屁股的态度量表（ATS）。主要的“预测因素”是：感知的强制性规范（即，专业人员和家人和朋友对CP的认可，家人和朋友对CP的描述性规范，以及CP使用的预期结果。我们使用多变量OLS模型回归ATS评分的预测变量为每个子集的父母根据他们选择的专业来源的建议。专业人士对CP的认可是父母支持CP态度的最强预测因子，但寻求MHP建议的父母除外。家人和朋友的强制性和描述性规范是重要的，但仅适用于那些寻求儿科医生或宗教领袖建议的人。积极的预期结果的CP很重要，但只有那些寻求宗教领袖或MHP的建议。总之，强度和相关性的变量预测CP的态度不同，根据专业的父母是最有可能寻求建议。
Despite the risk it poses to children’s mental and physical health, approval and use of corporal punishment (CP) remains high in the United States. Informed by the Theory of Planned Behavior, we examined potential predictors of attitudes supportive of CP while assessing the moderating effects of parents’ (N= 500) chosen primary professional source of advice regarding child discipline: pediatricians (47.8 %), religious leaders (20.8 %), mental health professionals (MHPs) (n= 18.4 %), or other identified professionals (13.0 %). We conducted a random-digit-dial telephone survey among parents ages 18 and over within New Orleans, LA. The main outcome measure was derived from the Attitudes Toward Spanking scale (ATS). The main “predictors” were: perceived injunctive norms (i.e., perceived approval of CP by professionals; and by family and friends), perceived descriptive norms of family and friends regarding CP, and expected outcomes of CP use. We used multivariate OLS models to regress ATS scores on the predictor variables for each subset of parents based on their chosen professional source of advice. Perceived approval of CP by professionals was the strongest predictor of parental attitudes supportive of CP, except for those seeking advice from MHPs. Perceived injunctive and descriptive norms of family and friends were important, but only for those seeking advice from pediatricians or religious leaders. Positive expected outcomes of CP mattered, but only for those seeking advice from religious leaders or MHPs. In conclusion, the strength and relevance of variables predicting attitudes toward CP varied according to the professional from which the parent was most likely to seek advice.
